Broader impacts are one of two criteria used by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to evaluate every grant proposal. In addition, increasingly broader and societal impacts are becoming more common in funders across government, industry and philanthropy.


As a PI, describing the broader social impact of your research and achieving specific educational outcomes can be a challenge. Luckily, ²ÊÃñ±¦µä is overflowing with resources to help you with broader impacts plans, efforts and activities through our very own Broader Impacts Network (BIN). Come join us for a session on broader and societal impacts with experts and to meet our wonderful Broader Impacts Providers from across campus! Free boxed lunches will be available!
